Oh that intro montage! Enjoy tonight's show everyone.

8:02 PM, February 20th, 2021
Steve Kirkland
Hi Lina... indeed. I've always thought that a playlist full of tracks that feature radio soundbites/montages would make for a great show... hmmm

8:06 PM, February 20th, 2021
Lina Asfour-Muir (host)
Sounds like a great idea! Next time?

8:08 PM, February 20th, 2021
Nik
Oh love Althea and Donna!

8:17 PM, February 20th, 2021

Lina Asfour-Muir (host)
Hey Wally! Bruce has a time machine!

8:21 PM, February 20th, 2021
Wally
I like his Time Machine and maybe we should go back to the date when Kraftwerk played at a high school in Ottawa, that would have been cool. My brother and I saw them a few years later in Montreal - brilliant band!

8:24 PM, February 20th, 2021
Lina Asfour-Muir (host)
Maybe we can lend you the keys Wally!

8:27 PM, February 20th, 2021
Chris Int'l
Wally, Heavy Friends always has you covered. Here is the episode Heavy Ben put together with excerpts from the Kraftwerk show at Glebe High School. https://cod.ckcufm.com/programs/410/48018.html

8:28 PM, February 20th, 2021
Bruce
I was thinking of 1978 as culture in the wake of big things like Star Wars, Punk and Disco, but of course it's never that simple!

8:28 PM, February 20th, 2021
Lina Asfour-Muir (host)
We had a hard time finding "The Jig Is Up" from Newfoundland's The Wonderful Grand Band so we decided to play "Sonny's Dream" instead.

8:29 PM, February 20th, 2021
Lina Asfour-Muir (host)
Who can play Bangkok?!

8:32 PM, February 20th, 2021
Wally
Thanks Lina and yes the keys would be great & thanks Chris for the link, I think I may have already heard that episode, great stuff & thanks guest Heavy Bruce for the trip 👍😀

8:32 PM, February 20th, 2021
Lina Asfour-Muir (host)
Wowza Chris! That's amazing! We need the Motorhead show from Landsdowne Park, if that actually happened ! :-)

Lina Asfour-Muir (host)
Jas! Playing in the delivering room?

8:46 PM, February 20th, 2021
Bruce
Yeah, Donna's disco cover of MacArthur Park seemed to smack of a certain decadence...

8:47 PM, February 20th, 2021
Lina Asfour-Muir (host)
Stefan--nice! For the synth drum?

8:47 PM, February 20th, 2021
Wally
Yes there quite a few shows I would love to go back and watch again like Teardrop Explodes, Modern English, Bauhaus, UB40, Durutti Column, Split Enz, Simple Minds, The Church, in small clubs and so many more and all those we missed.

8:49 PM, February 20th, 2021
